Building my 1973 Topps baseball set revealed two glaring flaws: the uninspired design and, more frustratingly, abysmal quality control. While collectors often cite the ’72 or ’75 sets for centering issues, to me the 1973 production run felt uniquely plagued by severe miscuts.
In a defiant nod to Topps’ lack of oversight, I am officially pivoting to build a 1973 "Frankenset."
The goal is simple: Zero "well-centered" cards. Every card in this set must be severely off-center or miscut. I’m bypassing the standard 60/40 centering issues for the most poorly aligned cards.
Follow along as I document the progress of the world’s most "perfectly imperfect" set.
Feel free to contact me if you have any cards to contribute to this endeavor.
